Very utopic, but I don't see this happening (at least in a couple years). We have had some good discussions about changing the board's software and we are still using phpBB vanilla, so changing to something completely new would be very hard to happen.

And now you're telling us the forums are already using a customized version?

Correct. Adding this k3wl feature isn't a priority. Keeping the forums running is. Modifications to search were necessary, among a few other changes._________________lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.

I'm not talking about adding any "cool" features. For example, the search in its current state is severly crippled, and is causing a lot of moderating effort due to duplicate posts all over the place. There have been threads that discuss various improvements to the search and they've mostly been met with answers like this one:

Fair enough, but what about this one then?
Being able to search topic titles only would decrease the search load and make it easier to find what you're looking for. The whole point of my first post in this thread was that you and klieber were giving conflicting answers.

Correct, which I already addressed. Improving search is being looked into, though I haven't heard anything about it lately. I'll poke ian! for an update._________________lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.

We had to change the search code to help it scale more. The forums were literally collapsing under the load of the old code. We spent the time required to get it to a state where it was operational again.

That does not mean that we're going to invest hours and hours to make feature improvements to the search code. For that, we look to the phpBB maintainers. (or another software package if it comes to that.)
